Fishing Report (posted 3/5/2026)

Upper New River (above Claytor Lake): The New is flowing around 2500 cfs at Allisonia. Walleye fishing is in full swing now, so don’t wait any longer to book your trip or you will likely miss out on this year’s action. With the warm weather on its way, our spring smallmouth bass fishing will be heating up soon too, so book your trip today.

Lower New River (below Claytor Lake): The New is flowing around 3750 cfs at Radford. Muskie fishing is still the game for a few more weeks until they start moving into their spawning zones and we turn our attention to targeting trophy, pre-spawn smallies.

Smith River:We are seeing extremely low flows in Bassett (around 47 cfs) and thus are currently running wade trips only, which allows us to “head hunt” for larger surface-feeding brown trout in the lower river with dry flies. Nymphing will also be productive in deep buckets and pockets. There are only a few March dates left, so book now.

Private Trout Water: Both streamer and caddis dry fly fishing is hot! Limited spring dates available, so reserve your date today.
